On October 8, JSRI collaborated with Professor Kondkar from Loyola University New Orleans’ Sociology Department for a Teach-In featuring speakers from the Visiting Room Project.
Through some personal stories and meaningful conversations, participants gained new perspectives on incarceration, the importance of education, and the experiences of those impacted by the criminal justice system.

Thank you to Professor Kondkar, the Visiting Room Project speakers, and everyone who participated in this opportunity to listen, learn, and reflect!

Yesterday, Patrick & Stephanie joined Dr. Diana Soto-Olson's Prison Systems of Latin America class to talk about Louisiana State Penitentiary and their award-winning prison newsmagazine, "The Angolite". Pat, our Light of Justice Program Specialist, worked at "The Angolite" as a journalist for 11 years. We gave out copies of some articles he wrote to the 20 students: "Trained for success: First Angola students earn certification through partnership with prison and vo-tech college", "Voices for change: Lifers and legislators discuss the need to reform Louisiana mandatory sentencing", "Teaching the teachers: Re-entry program tutors attend training program to learn teaching methods", and "Uniformity in practice: Seminar sets standards among corrections department's inmate counsel substitutes". In the 50 minute class period, Pat, Stephanie, Dr. Soto-Olson, and students discussed the history of Angola, rehabilitation vs. retribution as a prison system, and what censorship looked like as a writer for a prison magazine. You can read Pat's articles and more on JSTOR!
